CEO Stan issues strategic guidelines for HR

Gloria,Implement these strategic guidelines next week, in line with our core values of doing what you are told.
1-Non strategic cost cutting needs to expanded to lessen the burn rate. Reduce fat where ever you see, and wallpaper the pain with all your fancy HR slogans.2-Some of our big data engineers are calling the product "dog food". Root that out, in line with our core values of rooting things out.3- Cynthia Axe via her Early Bird Retirement Plan or whatever you call it, must "trim" 50 heads a week, whilst Strategic Procurement should drive half of our vendors into receivership, or abject poverty.4-No cuts whatsoever in big data, internet of things, cloud based activities.
5-Massive use of IMT-"Intrinsic Motivation Tools", to be developed by HR SVP Gloria Ramsbottom. Do not delegate this task Gloria.
7-Staff engagement must rise by 34%. You own that, Ramsbottom.
7-Internal Head of Communications to be hired to ensure positive messages reach our staff. Last week, I met a lady whom I will send to you for an interview. See if she compatible and then hire her.8- Trim the number of core values we have from 5 to 3.
